UNSPSC 60121252: Paint pans

UNSPSC 60121252 Paint pans, a Commodity code, encompasses paint supplies and related materials that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for fleet maintenance, facility upkeep, and infrastructure projects. The scope spans interior and exterior latex paints, industrial alkyd and oil-based enamels, direct-to-metal coatings, specialty finishes such as elastomeric wall coatings and dry erase paint, primers, sealers, caulks, sealants, paint sundries, spray equipment, and FAA-compliant airport paints. Issuing bodies include transit authorities, cities, and municipal departments; solicitations typically establish blanket purchase orders or indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity agreements with as-needed ordering and expedited delivery windows (commonly four business days or next-day fulfillment). State and local buyers enforce compliance with air-quality standards such as South Coast Air Quality Management District volatile organic compound limits, require new and unopened stock with manufacturer warranties and complete safety data sheets, and often mandate F.O.B. destination pricing with no trip or fuel surcharges.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in Texas and California, with three of four recent solicitations posted by Texas cities. The Orange County Transportation Authority (California) issued IFB 260505 for vehicle paints and supplies, due October 26, 2026, under a blanket purchase order for $150,000 over two years with Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements and a DBE participation goal. The City of Dallas posted a 60-month ID/IQ agreement (BU2600030751, due August 21, 2026) for FAA airport paint and Graco equipment parts and service to its Department of Aviation. The City of Fort Worth released RFP 26-0224 (due August 6, 2026) for non-exclusive paint and paint supplies agreements with a 30% small business participation goal and best-value scoring weighting experience and delivery capability at 25 and 20 points respectively. The City of Madison's Community Development Authority solicited the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB 15051-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026), a construction-phase bid covering exterior painting, surface preparation, guttering, and siding under Davis-Bacon wage requirements. Transit authorities and municipal departments appear as primary repeat buyers; DBE and small business set-asides are present in multiple recent solicitations.
